School nursing is a specialized practice that advances the well-being, academic success and life-long achievement of students.  Definition adopted at the National Association of School Nurses Board of Directors meeting, June 1999.

Windsor School District, Weld RE-4, has two School Registered Nurses who serve our preschool - high school students.  Responsibilities include providing direct care to students, promoting a healthy school environment, reviewing parent provided student health information, developmenting and implementing health care plans for students, supervising health aides, delegating medication administration and procedures to unlicensed staff, conducting vision/hearing screenings and referring as appropriate, teaching in the classrooms, collaborating with the special education team, serving on a variety of committees/teams, and consulting with outside agencies as needed.

Each health room is staffed by a qualified health aide who has annual CPR/First Aide training and specific medication training for school employees.  The health aides are also knowledgeable regarding immunization requirements, common health conditions, communicable diseases and growth/development. They are available to answer your questions and are able to get in touch with the School Nurses at all times.
